It's an Ubuntu specific patch to NM. Their network control panel lets you select whether a specific interface is in "Roaming" (controlled by NM) or "Manual" (invisible to NM) mode. It's basically a hack because (a) NM 0.6.x didn't have good static IP support, and (b) drivers really suck, and since Ubuntu packages 4 different 802.11 stacks and a shitload of very, very bad drivers, they hacked around crappy drivers instead of getting people to fix said drivers. Definitely not the way it's all supposed to work, and the #1 source of confused bug reports against NM...
